Capability profile
Metal additive design and production integrated with thermal processing, machining and verification.
Burloak provides an integrated route from additive design and process development to metal component production, thermal treatment, precision machining and verification. Its published process set comprises laser powder-bed fusion, electron-beam powder-bed fusion and directed-energy deposition. Listed materials span aluminium alloys, titanium, stainless steels, Invar and nickel alloys; a material listing does not qualify every machine/material combination.
The production proposition has named applications. A 2024 Samuel announcement selected Burloak for more than 50,000 MDA AURORA flight-hardware components, with Telesat Lightspeed as anchor customer; Tekna later described the associated aluminium-powder supply partnership. This is programme scope rather than a delivered count. For a different industrial use, Kinectrics documents an EOS M290 LPBF demonstration of a 17-4 PH hydraulic manifold, followed by in-house heat treatment, five-axis machining and testing. Kinectrics reports no leaks at 2,812 psig (1.25 times design pressure) over 10 minutes, density above 99.9%, and material properties exceeding ASTM A564 Type 630/H1150. These measured results apply to that demonstrated component and do not establish general nuclear acceptance.
The retained Oakville operation is now an i3D/BTX Centre of Excellence. Engagement remains customer-scoped: select the alloy and process, establish design and acceptance requirements, and confirm the applicable approval and delivery plan. A 2021 company announcement of Boeing BAC 5673 approval is specifically for AlSi10Mg; it should not be generalized across the portfolio.
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Named MDA AURORA production scope and a Kinectrics manifold demonstration establish more than a generic process offer. Samuel reported Boeing AlSi10Mg/BAC 5673 approval in 2021. The i3D acquisition retains the Oakville team; each part still needs current material/process approval and acceptance.
Customer-scoped engineering, production and post-processing from Oakville. Agree material, machine/process route, inspection and acceptance package, delivery schedule and post-acquisition approval applicability before commitment. Public sources do not quantify spare capacity.
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.
No reviewed Mission area or released Defence need connection is currently published.
These records support this capability and its published Mission area and Defence need connections. A source count is not a count of independent confirmations.
